Wish List on formation of new Malaysian government

Wish List on formation of new Malaysian government                                               10.5.2018

Now that our new Prime Minister has sworn in, here is my wish list for a new Malaysia:

1. No katak is allowed to jump ship. No attempt to lure any ADUN to cross over. Let the state governments with slim majority govern with strong opposition party until the next election.

2. The Chairman and top leaders of the Election Commission must go. Charge them in court if they have committed any offence under the Election Act. Redo the redelineation exercise to make sure that the number of voters in the constituencies are approximately equal.

3. The Chief Justice and President of the Court of Appeal, whose extension of tenure and reappointment to their respective offices are said to be unconstitutional by the Malaysian Bar, must also go. Judges should be allowed to act independently and decide cases based on merits. There should not be any "arahan dari atas".

4. The Attorney General, who cleared Najib of any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, must resign or be sacked.

5. Civil servants must be left to do their job professionally without interference from politicians, especially from the Prime Minister's Office.

6. Reopen files on Teoh Beng Hock, Anwar Ibrahim,  Altantuya, 1MDB and others if there is proof of relevant evidence being suppressed at trial or inquiry or new evidence discovered. Though the new Prime Minister has said that the new government
will not seek revenge, criminals of serious offences cannot be left off the hook.

7. MCA, MIC and Gerakan are dissolved and new multi-racial parties are formed to take care of interest and needs of all Malaysians. (I have a suggestion for the name, PITAM (Party Insaf Tanah Malaysia)). We do not need Chinese ministers to take care of Chinese; Indian ministers to take care of Indians; Sabah and Sarawak ministers to take care of Sabahans and Sarawakians. Instead all ministers must take care of all Malaysians.

8. Revamp our education system. This is very very urgent.

9. Implement need or merits based, not race based policies.

A lot to wish for! Well, if Pakatan Harapan government does not perform, we choose new government in GE 15. Hopefully by then there are new parties or coalitions, not only Barisan National, for us to choose from.
